Where are the half tracks ?

Adrian Harris · Post by **Adrian Harris** » Mon Aug 25, 2008 6:41 pm

I'm off to pick up my half tracks tomorrow but I'm surprised by the lack of traffic in this forum,
especially as the M2/M3/M16 is now sold out.

David's is the only one I've seen "under construction" so where are the others

Having said that, I'm afraid mine are likely to disappear under the bench until such time as I've
got the Shermans and Tiger re-assembled

Hi guys,

No worries, the half tracks will appear in due course.
Mine is still under the bench

Hello gentlemens!..
Mine is always in the boxes...(An M3 )Until I will have more time to build it!

..Perhaps my next vehicule after the 222....
I have a basic question: someone can tell me where I could find the turret for the browning machine gun?I will probably add one on my halftrack...

Cheers...
Yves

Hello Yves,

Take a look at the Armorpax site. They have a nice range of mounts and cradles ( http://www.armorpax.com/Armorpax/WWII%2 ... pdates.htm )

Hi Everyone,
I have just received my 222 and US halftrack kits. I am in Las Vegas Nevada and wondering if there is anyone else in the area who also has 1/6 scale vehicles. I am just starting my kits now and am very excited about running them out here in the desert. I have been scratch building 1/10 scale Shermans and have several Wittgrebe models in 1/10 scale. Hope to hear from someone.

Hi Ray, welcome to the crew. I'm sure anyone and everyone would love to see some pix of your scratchbuilds as well as progress on the Armortek kits you've just bought.

Mike Stannard is in Las Vegas area (sorry to name drop Mike). See his posts in the Craftsmans Market section if unfamiliar with his work.

Welcome to the forum. Bob

Hi,
Thank you to everyone for the warm welcome to the forum. I am starting on my 222 first and then will do the M2. I have decided to build the M2 with the pulpit mount 50 cal machine gun so as to be on par with the 222. Eventually I will have 4 vehicles (Panzer III on order and a Stuart in 1/6 scale from Bevan Johnson). I will be doing all these vehicles in desert motif. I will be using the very detailed pictures from "toadman" for a guide to assemble these. I don't know if you have seen these discs, but they are very well done. I have the discs for the 222, M2halftrack, Matilda, and StugIII. I purchased these for about $10 each on ebay and they show hundreds of color photos of restored vehicles from various collections. You can look at examples on his website at www.toadmanstankpictures.com or you can find them on ebay. I will keep everyone posted with my progress. If anyone is interested in seeing my 1/10 shermans, I can email pics and a short video directly, since I don't know how to post on this site.

Hi everyone,

I just wanted to renew Adrian's original question.

Where are all the Ami half tracks?

regards
Tim

That looks good. Is it a static model stuck on top of the shelves like that?

I've yet to see one of these run, so how do people feel they perform?

> Is it a static model stuck on top of the shelves like that?

Judging by the pulpit that's David's halftrack, so it's definitely a runner, though there's not much room for manoeuvre up there

> I've yet to see one of these run, so how do people feel they perform?

I had a play with the demonstrator at the open day and, apart from having a turning circle the size of a small country

, it performed very well.

As to the original question, I have to admit to having two "under the bench" myself and, as I'm currently sharing my time between work, two Shermans, a Tiger and a 222, they're not likely to be seeing the light of day for a while

Adrian.
